When used with Omnipaque™ IBP, Omnipaque™ single dose bottles, or Visipaque™ single dose bottles, a maximum of 19 bottles of contrast media can be used or maximum time of twenty four (24) hours of Pump tubing-flex, or whichever comes first. Time per contrast media or saline container depends on each contrast media's or saline's use time expiration with a maximum of eight (8) hours per contrast media or saline container.
Spike for CT disposable is for single-bottle use only and must be discarded with the media container. The Patient tubing must be discarded after each patient procedure.
ulrichINJECT CT motion is to be used only by and under quasi-continuous supervision of trained healthcare professionals in an appropriate licensed healthcare facility, in a room designated for radiological procedures that involve intravascular administration of contrast agent.
ulrichINJECT CT motion is a syringeless contrast media management system that is designed for the controlled, automatic administration, on the venous side, of contrast media and saline, to human subjects underqoing diagnostic examinations in computed tomography (CT) applications.
The ulrichINJECT CT motion system consists of the CT motion terminal, CT motion injector and the CT motion tubing system. The CT motion tubing system is the only component that comes in contact with the patient and has indirect contact with the blood path of a patient for a limited duration (few minutes). The CT motion tubing system consists of three components:
- . Spike for CT
- . Pump tubing-flex
- . Patient Tubing
ulrichINJECT CT motion uses a peristaltic pump as part of the injector which is designed to transport the media fluid through the CT motion tubing system (spikes for CT, CT motion pump tubing-flex, and patient tubing for pump tubing-flex).
The updated ulrichINJECT CT motion system is intended to be used with the following components that are not supplied with the system:
- Multiple patient use saline containers, .
- Omnipaque IBP contrast media containers, .
- . Omnipaque single-dose contrast media bottles,
- . Visipaque single-dose contrast media bottles, and
- . Cannula.
The updated ulrichINJECT CT motion system is specifically indicated for use in CT procedures for the delivery of Omnipaque™ (lohexol) Injection, solution - GE Healthcare Inc. contrast media as supplied in Imaging Bulk Packages (IBP), Omnipaque™ (Iohexol) Injection, solution - GE Healthcare Inc., and Visipaque™ (iodixanol) Injection - GE Healthcare Inc. contrast media as supplied in single dose bottles.
ulrichINJECT CT motion is equipped with multiple hardware and software controls that work together for the safe operation of the intended use of the device. Controls include air detectors, which are designed to detect air without direct contact with the medium, pressure controls to manage and regulate pressure inside the tubing system, and check valves to prevent backflow of media and avoid retrograde contamination.
The ulrichINJECT CT motion is provided in three versions:
- . Mobile pedestal version
- Ceiling version ●
- Wall mounted version ●
This document describes the ulrichINJECT CT motion, a syringeless contrast media management system for CT applications. The submission to the FDA (K192872) is seeking to market the device as substantially equivalent to a previously cleared version (K171392). The main changes mentioned are the support for additional contrast media (Omnipaque single dose and Visipaque single dose) and a new Li-ion battery option.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information provided:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics in a clear, concise format. Instead, it details various non-clinical tests performed and states that the device "complies with the standards listed" or "met the requirements of the pre-defined acceptance criteria."
Therefore, I will extrapolate the acceptance criteria and performance based on the described tests and the "Comparison" column in the detailed comparison table, where the subject device is deemed "identical" or "equivalent" to the predicate.

Study Information:
The provided document describes a 510(k) submission (K192872) for the ulrichINJECT CT motion system. This is a premarket notification for a medical device seeking to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K171392), rather than prove de novo safety and effectiveness through extensive clinical trials. Therefore, the "studies" described are primarily non-clinical verification and validation activities.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
-
Test Set Sample Size:
- For physical components and engineering performance (Flow Rate, Volume Accuracy, Pressure Limits, Air Detection, etc.): The document does not specify a numerical sample size for bench tests. It refers to "verification testing" and "additional verification testing," implying that a sufficient number of tests were conducted to confirm performance parameters against established specifications and standards.
- For chemical compatibility, contamination control, biocompatibility, and extractables/leachables: These tests typically involve a sample of the device materials and exposure to the specified substances or conditions, but a specific number is not provided.
- For software validation: No specific number of test cases or iterations is provided, but it states "Validation included an installation qualification and an operational / performance qualification."
-
Data Provenance: The studies are non-clinical (bench testing, lab studies). The country of origin of the data is not explicitly stated, but the submitter (ulrich GmbH & Co. KG) is located in Germany. These studies are prospective in the sense that they were conducted specifically for this submission to address the changes and confirm substantial equivalence.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable. For this type of non-clinical, engineering, and laboratory-based verification and validation, "ground truth" as established by human experts (like radiologists) is not the primary method. Instead, "ground truth" is typically defined by:
- Established engineering specifications and performance targets.
- International and national consensus standards (e.g., ISO, IEC).
- Regulatory guidance documents (e.g., FDA software guidance).
- Pre-defined acceptance criteria derived from these specifications and standards.
- Laboratory analysis results (e.g., chemical assays, microbiological cultures, physical measurements).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 (two readers plus one adjudicator) are used in clinical studies involving human interpretation or subjective assessments. The studies presented here are non-clinical verification and validation tests, where results are typically objectively measured against predefined criteria.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an angiographic injector, a hardware-based system for delivering contrast media, not an AI software intended for image interpretation or diagnosis. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance metrics are not relevant to this submission.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This device is a physical injector system with embedded software, not a standalone algorithm or AI software. Its performance is inherent to its mechanical and electronic function, although the software controls are crucial for its operation. The performance described is "algorithm only" in the sense that it's the device's intrinsic mechanical/software behavior being tested, but not an AI algorithm performing a diagnostic task.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The "ground truth" for the non-clinical studies relies on:
- Engineering specifications and design requirements: For physical dimensions, weights, power, injection rates, volumes, accuracies, and programmable limits.
- Consensus standards: Such as ISO 11135-1 (sterilization), ISO 11607-1 (packaging), ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility), IEC 60601-1/60601-1-2 (electrical safety, EMC), and applicable parts of ISO 8536-4 (infusion equipment).
- Laboratory test results: For chemical compatibility, extractables and leachables (chemical analysis), and contamination control (microbiological assays).
- Software validation protocols: Defining expected behavior and outputs.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning or AI that requires a "training set" of data in the conventional sense. The software validation refers to qualification, not machine learning model training.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. As there is no machine learning "training set," there is no "ground truth" established for it.
